Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has taken exception to the comments of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy reportedly made during his ongoing tour of the US and termed him enemy of farming community of Telangana, mostly having uplands.
On Tuesday, several Ministers and party leaders came down heavily on the Congress leader and faulted Mr. Revanth Reddy. Minister for Finance and Health T. Harish Rao said Congress itself was anti-farmer as it was opposing Rythu Bandhu, Dharani and 24×7 free power to agriculture. The party leaders were speaking against the benefits extended to farmers. He asked the farmers to give a shock to the Congress, which was opposing the uninterrupted power to farming.
Addressing a press conference here, Minister for Energy G. Jagadish Reddy along with several legislators said by making such comments Mr. Revanth Reddy had once again proved that he was a true protege of former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu by repeating what the latter had spoken 20 years ago. He sought to know whether it was another Congress’ declaration.
